Crowned in Fire
Description
This portrait depicts an African woman with flame lilies as hair, evoking the fiery spirit and vibrancy of life. This piece uses soft pastels and charcoal to highlight the relationship between African women and nature. The flame lily—a symbol of beauty and uniqueness in African flora—mirrors the multifaceted nature of these women. Hair styling becomes a celebration of individuality and a practice of self-care, enhancing confidence and overall well-being. Through this portrait, I honor the beauty of African heritage and the enduring spirit of women who find empowerment in caring for and expressing themselves through their hair.
